INTRODUCTION

If you’re looking for a place where passion meets purpose, welcome to the Department of Civil Engineering at Dhaka International University. We’re more than just a department—we’re a community, a family of thinkers, builders, doers, and dreamers. With over 1,000 students, including international ones, and a strong network of more than 3,000 alumni, our legacy is built on hard work, dedication, and real-world impact.

We currently have 36 full-time faculty members who are not just teachers, but mentors, researchers, and guides—people who genuinely care about your growth. Over the past few years, they’ve published quality research in top journals and stayed deeply involved in solving real-life engineering problems. The classroom is just the beginning.

To bring learning to life, we’ve built 10 advanced labs, each supervised by skilled lab instructors who make sure students learn with both head and hands. From structural design to transportation systems, from geotechnical investigations to concrete technology, and from environmental engineering to seismic analysis—our labs are equipped with the tools and expertise to help you explore, experiment, and truly understand the heart of Civil Engineering.

But we don’t stop at academics. We believe university life should prepare you for life. That’s why we arrange skill-building workshops, professional certification courses, and regular field visits—all while you’re still a student. And if you're planning for higher studies abroad, we’ll be there from day one, helping you every step of the way.

We also make sure you enjoy the journey. Our students take part in all kinds of co-curricular and extracurricular activities—competitions, cultural events, seminars, sports—you name it. These aren’t just add-ons. They’re a core part of what makes our department special.

Our graduates go on to do incredible things—in Bangladesh and beyond. Whether it’s working with top construction firms, joining government services, or pursuing advanced degrees overseas, they carry the DIU Civil spirit with them.

We’re constantly growing, constantly improving. But at our heart, we remain committed to one thing: helping our students become engineers who care, who think critically, and who build for a better future.
